• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Warning! The voltage of your electrical installation must correspond to that of the iron (220V-240V).
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the guarantee.
• This iron must always be plugged into an earthed socket. If using a mains extension lead, ensure that it is
correctly rated (16A), with an earth.

Before first use
Before using your iron with the steam function for the first time, we recommend
that you operate it in a horizontal position for a few moments, away from your
linen. Operate the Power zone trigger several times under the same conditions.
• There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of
particles when you use your appliance for the first time. This has no effect on
the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
Please read these
instructions carefully.
Remove any labels from
the soleplate before
heating up the iron.
Preparation
What water to use?
• Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water.
However, it is necessary to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to
eliminate hard water deposits from the steam chamber.

• Never use water containing additives (starch, scents, softeners, etc.),
or water produced by condensation (e.g. water from tumble-driers,
refrigerators, air conditioners, rain water). The types of water contain
organic waste or mineral elements that can cause spitting, brown
staining, or premature wear of the appliance.
Filling the water tank
• Unplug your iron before filling it.
• Set the steam control to
fig.1.
• Take the iron in one hand and tilt it slightly, with the point uppermost.
• Open the water tank lid –
fig.2.
• Fill the tank up to the “MAX” line –
fig.3.
• Close the flap of the water tank.
Use
Adjust the temperature and the steam
• Set the thermostat control – fig.4, referring to the table below.
• The thermostat light comes on. It will go out when the soleplate is hot enough –
fig.5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Select setting and save 20% energy compare with the maximum position.
• Your iron heats up quickly: so begin by ironing fabrics that are ironed at low
temperatures first, then go on to those requiring a higher temperature,
• If you turn down the thermostat, wait until the thermostat light comes back on
before beginning to iron again,
• When ironing fabrics with mixed fibres, set the ironing temperature for the most
delicate fibre. For delicate fabrics we recommend testing the fabric first on an
inconspicious place eg (inside the hem).
Spray Function (spray)
• Whether steam or dry ironing, you are able to use the spray button to dampen
laundry to remove stubborn creases –
fig.6.
Obtain more steam
• Turn the thermostat to “MAX” or “•••”.
• Operate the Power zone trigger from time to time fig.7.
• To avoid drips, leave an interval of a few seconds between operations.
Vertical steam ironing
Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The
steam is very hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never
iron clothes which someone is wearing.
• Set the thermostat control to
“MAX” fig.8.
• Operate the Power zone trigger by pulsing – fig.7 moving the iron from top
to bottom – fig.9.
Fill the tank up to the
“MAX”.
Never fill the appliance by
holding it directly under
the tap.
Do not remove the anti-
scale valve to fill the water
tank.
If your water is very hard, it is
possible to mix tap water with store-
bought distilled or demineralised
water in the following proportions :
- 50% tap water,
- 50% distilled or demineralised water.
= STEAM ZONE
In order to avoid water
dripping from the iron onto
the linen:
- Turn off the steam when
ironing silk or synthetic
fabrics.
- Set it at the minimum
position for wool.
Make sure that there is
water in the tank before
using this button.
Hold the iron a few
centimetres from the fabric
to avoid burning delicate
fabrics.
Every five pulses return the
iron to a horizontal position.

The auto-stop light will
be lit during normal use!
Be careful!
- Never touch the end of
the valve – fig.13.
- The iron will not
function without the
anti-scale valve.
The self-cleaning
function helps to slow
down scaling in your
iron.
In order to extend the
life of your iron, use the
Self-Cleaning function
once a month.
Attention!
The use of a scouring pad will
cause damage to your soleplate's
self-cleaning (depending on
model) coating fig.17.
Dry ironing
• Set the temperature for the fabric to be ironed.
• Set the steam control to
fig.1.
• You may start ironing when the thermostat light goes out.
Extra Functions
Autoclean Catalys
®
Soleplate (depending on model)
• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.
• Its exclusive coating helps continuously eliminate all the impurities generated by normal use.
• It is recommended that you always stand your iron on his heel to preserve its self-cleaning coating.
Integral anti-scale system
Your iron is equipped with an integral anti-scale system. This system will help to provide:
• a better ironing quality with a constant flow of steam,
• lasting performance from your appliance.
Auto-Stop safety feature (depending on model)
• The electronic system cuts off the electric power and the Auto-Stop warning light
flashes if the iron is left vertically on its heel for more than 8 minutes, or in a
horizontal position for more than 30 seconds –
fig.10.
• To restart the iron, just move it gently until the warning light stops flashing.
Anti-drip function (depending on model)
• When the iron is no longer hot enough to produce steam, the water feed will stop automatically to avoid
dripping.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)
• Unplug your iron and empty the water tank.
• Adjust the steam setting to “Eco”.
• To remove the anti-scale valve, open the water tank lid and press the release
button
fig.11 and then pull the valve upwards – fig.12.
• Soak the valve in a cup of white spirit vinegar or plain lemon juice for 4 hours
fig.14.
• Rinse the valve under running water.
• Replace the anti-scale valve; press until it clicks in to place –
fig.15.
Self-cleaning
• Fill the tank of your iron with untreated tap water. Stand the iron on it’s heel
with the thermostat set to “Max” and heat it up.
• When the thermostat light goes out, unplug the iron and hold it in a horizontal
position, over a sink. Remove the anti-scale valve
fig.11-12 (see previous
chapter).
• Shake the iron gently, over the sink, until some of the water in the water tank
(with the impurities) has flowed out through the soleplate –
fig.16.
• At the end of the operation, replace the anti-scale valve; press it in until it clicks
fig.15.
• Plug the iron back in and leave it resting on its heel for two minutes to dry the
soleplate.
• Clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic cloth while it is still warm.
Cleaning the soleplate
Your steam iron is fitted with a self-cleaning soleplate (depending on
model):
The exclusive active coating helps continuously eliminate all the impurities
generated by the normal day-to-day use of the iron.
• However, if you iron using an unsuitable programme, some traces may be
left which require manual cleaning. In this case, it is recommended that
